The compressor compresses gas in capillaries leading to a radially distant annular container space. Centrifugal force acts on gas bubbles entrained between liquid slugs moving radially outward through the capillaries which may be radial, tangential or continuously curved. Compressed gas is collected in the annular space. A gas-liquid emulsion is fed to the capillaries by an inboard emulsification device. The emulsification may include a vortex generator, an ejector or a venturi injector, all feeding the gas-liquid mixture into the inboard ends of the capillaries. The capillaries are formed in a series of discs, coaxially stacked with outer disc ends open to the annular space. Capillary inlets may be perpendicular, tangential or may define a venturi jet.

The invention discloses a scheduling method for an export container wharf pile-up space. Two-stage modeling is performed from plan allocation to dynamic allocation. At a pre-allocation stage, a block plan is researched, and the follow-up dynamic allocation is guided by the block plan. In the block plan, a block allocation model based on the ecological neutral theory is proposed. According to the block allocation model, container blocks are abstracted as islands, and container groups are abstracted as species, and thus, a process of allocating the container groups to the container blocks is escaped into a process that ecological selection is performed on the islands by a plurality of species. Based on the block allocation model, by aiming at the characteristic of the block plan problem, the block allocation model is optimized by the scheduling method for the export container wharf pile-up space, and an improved ecological neutral theory model is proposed. At a dynamic allocation stage, yard bay allocation and container space allocation are combined, solving is optimized by bi-objective combination, and a combination cellular automaton model is proposed. According to the combination cellular automaton model, the yard bay allocation is abstracted as an external cellular model, and the container space allocation is abstracted as an internal cellular model.

The system also includes structure for moving the containers on and off the rolling stock, and structure for controlling the loading/unloading assemblies to load/unload the containers on/from the rolling stock according to a desired destination for the goods in the respective containers.

A vacuum fresh-keeping cover includes an upper cover, a top of which is connected with an air suction-ventilation device, a lower rim of which is connected with a soft gasket that can be suppressed on any horizontal surface, and an interior of which is formed with a container space. When a barometric value of the container space gets larger, the air suction-ventilation device is activated to expel out air in the container space continuously, to keep the container space at a near vacuum condition for preserving objects or food. When pulling up a touching element of the air suction-ventilation device, the air in the container space is drained out by the air suction-ventilation device to quickly remove the upper cover, to facilitate consumers for use, and to conveniently separate the air suction-ventilation device from the upper cover, for easily washing the upper cover with water.

The disclosure relates to a pump dispenser and a method of assembly of such a dispenser, in which the container interior reduces its volume progressively as product is dispensed to avoid air contact with the product. One aim is to prevent any air in the container space above the product from reaching the pump inlet, and thereby possibly reducing a dispensed dose without the user being aware. To trap any such air and keep it away from the inlet throughout use of the dispenser, an air trap member (5) having a downwardly-convex dish form is provided below the floor of the dispenser module around the inlet, to guide any such air away from the inlet and to the periphery. At the periphery a steeply-sloping peripheral portion forms a retaining lip (53), which may make flexible wiping contact with the container wall interior, allowing air past on assembly of the dispenser. A central tubular formation (52) of the trap member (5) separates the trapped air from the inlet, and can be used to plug the trap member into the inlet. A sliding follower piston (15) may have an upward central boss (152) shaped to fit into the tubular formation (52) of the trap member (5) to maximise expulsion of product.
